    Brief

    ISIS neutron and muon source seeks a replacement pair of bespoke 1-meter long polarising supermirror v-cavities for the Larmor beamline. These precision optical components are critical for ongoing beamline operations and neutron polarisation. Suppliers should have expertise in manufacturing supermirror coatings, v-cavity configurations, and experience with neutron optics systems. The components must meet ISIS specifications for dimensional accuracy, coating uniformity, and neutron reflectivity performance. This is an equipment replacement opportunity for a major UK research facility.
